WAW #8 - Sports

Ok, I admit, I was dreading this week's weekly assignment. I am not really a "sports-person" in any way, shape, or form. I had no idea how I was going to get shots of sports with out looking like a total weirdo or pervert. And in fact, because recently I have had some very bad experiences with certain "overly-competitive sports-people", the few sports that I was involved with have become quite negative experiences. So, I decided to bend the "rules" just a little and took a very loose definition of the word "sport".
I spent the Easter weekend with my family and had a blast playing outside with my nieces. Kids love games and they will play them just for the sake of playing... there is no smack-talk, no put-downs, no exclusion, no favouritism... just fun. These are the kind of sports that I can enjoy (Biking, Pop Goes the Frogio, Frisbee, & Bean Bag Toss). And clearly they take extreme concentration as indicated by the perfectly placed tongue in each photo.
